Chicken and Vegetable Soup | Slimming Eats Recipes (2024)

Sit down and enjoy a delicious bowl of this Chicken and Vegetable soup

I don't know about you, but I love making soup, there is something comforting about homemade soup made from scratch, especially when it's packed with lots of good healthy ingredients.

For this Chicken and Vegetable Soup I like to make my own homemade chicken broth- you can use stock cubes etc if you prefer. But trust me when I say the homemade broth is worth the effort, for the amazing fresh taste you get. I make batches of the broth regularly and freeze so I always have some on hand in my freezer when I want to make soups like this.

You will also notice a pretty odd ingredient of fish sauce in the recipe, don't be put off by it, it adds amazing umami to this recipe. You won't taste fish, I promise. But if it really puts you off, omit it, but check the seasoning when ready, as you made need to add a little salt instead.

You can also add leftover cooked chicken to this if you have some, instead of having to cook the chicken from raw. I recommend making the veggie part of the soup first and then adding the chicken at the end till heated through if you do that.

I have made this Chicken and Vegetable Soup both stove top and in an Instant Pot, so I will post directions for both.

It is the best kitchen gadget I have purchased. I would even put it above my actifry and that's saying something. I love this thing so much, that I almost use it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

It seriously tops every kitchen appliance I have ever bought.

It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute's, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven't tried that yet).

If you buy one kitchen gadget this year, I really recommend theInstant Pot
